Thread: Be Honest - How do people carry out meat and large weight

I have one of those hunters element packable daypacks - bright orange thing - or a drybag. My procedure is get the legs/boned out meat in pillow cases and into my pack first and low so its easier to carry, cram the heavy ish stuff (stove etc) in and around it and then anything really light/bulky that doesnt fit goes into the spare bag and is tied to the outside or lid of the pack.

Attached is my old Kifaru pack, bombproof and comfy but heavy and even heavier when wet. That trip ended in two boned out deer and a 50kg load of pack and rifle - I weigh 60kg on the hoof, so carrying 83% of my bodyweight was not easy or pleasant. ( Not in a hurry to be shooting two deer on my own again ) everyone should carry their own bodyweight or close to it at least once, doing it teaches you what is possible.
